Without a web server, we wouldn’t be able to run any code in the back end’s language, PHP, or store any data in a database. In order for the back end to function properly, on the other hand, we need to configure our own web server. There’s nothing special we need to do in order for their code to be properly executed. The front end languages-HTML, CSS, and JavaScript-are all automatically understood by your web browser. Our web server softwareĪs we discussed last week, our web app is comprised of two main parts, the front end and the back end.

Luckily for us, there are pre-packaged solutions that already contain all of those components! At this point, we can yet again be thankful for the multitude of free, openly-available tools that the software development community has made available. In our case, we need our environment to possess a few things: a database (that will store all of our data) a web server (that will be responsible for helping us access our app via a web browser, as explained briefly last week) and PHP (as it has its own dependencies and requirements, which we need to install). In software development, your development environment is comprised of the applications that will run on your computer, in the background, to enable our web app to actually come to life. In order to begin developing, the first thing we need to do is get our development environment setup. This week, it’s time to get our hands dirty!
Last week we got our feet wet, gaining a big-picture understanding of how web apps work. Note: If you already worked your way through the “Web Server Setup Guide” from last week, you can skip down to the Creating your first website section below. This is lesson two of a 10 ten-lesson course, Simple CodeIgniter App, which walks you through the creation of your first PHP web application using the CodeIgniter framework.
